The Chocobo Forest is one of several locations in Final Fantasy IV. Each Chocobo Forest contains three yellow chocobos, used for transportation on land and crossing rivers, and a single white chocobo, which restores 500 MP to all party members when caught. The Fat Chocobo can also be summoned in the forest, but requires a Gysahl Green for it to appear.

There are five Chocobo Forests in total on the overworld, and all Chocobo Forests are found on the tile where Cecil is standing in the pictures below. A Gysahl Green can be found in the grassy area in the middle of the clearing.

There's a Chocobo Village north of Troia. This is the only forest where the player can find black chocobos until the player enters the Lunar Whale for the first time. After that, one black chocobo will spawn in each Chocobo Forest. Three Gysahl Greens can be found if one ventures through the hidden pathways in the trees. The clearing itself is shaped like a chocobo.

In the iOS version of Final Fantasy IV, the player can embark on a quest to find eidolons scattered around the world. The last eidolon is found in Troia's Chocobo Forest, near a white chocobo, and he has been flying on the black chocobo.

The Chocobo Forests were disabled for this game as they are not needed, and the only Chocobo Forest the player can see on the overworld map is the one east of Fabul. The entrance into the forest was removed and it became a regular forest.

[view·edit·purge]The name "chocobo" derives from a Japanese brand of chocolate malt ball by Morinaga, ChocoBall(チョコボール, Chokobōru?). The mascot for this product is Kyoro-chan (キョロちゃん?), a bird who says "kweh."
